This video shows Russian Navy commandos on a Somalian pirate ship shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker. The Euro Union Navy that patrols these waters would not interfere, because they feared there could be casualties. All explanations are in Russian with a single exception of when a wounded pirate says something in English and the Russian soldier says "This is not a fishing boat." All conversations between the commandos are in Russian. If you don't understand Russian, the pictures speak for themselves.

The soldiers freed their compatriots and the Russian tanker. The Russian Navy Commandos then moved the pirates back to their own (pirate) ship, searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives, and then they left the ship and exploded it with ALL remaining pirates hand-cuffed to it. The commandos sank the pirate ship along with the pirates and without any court proceedings, lawyers etc. They used the anti-piracy laws of the 18th and 19th centuries where the captain of the rescuing ship has the right to decide what to do with the pirates. Usually, they were hung.

I would think from now on, Russian ships will not be targets for Somalian pirates after they watch this video!This is what we should do...

They did the right thing, just blow them up with their ship. The court system wouldn't do justice...

I agree completely, the Somalian pirates are ruthless and are using our laws to keep them safe when caught. I am glad that there are countries that will distribute hard justice immediately instead of a long drawn out court procedure that may let the pirates free. Pirates are going to look at Russian vessels a little differently after this.
